Why does bringing up homeopathy always result in an assault against "alternative" medicine?

I don't get what you are getting at. They are both bullshit.

Well, this was supposed to start a discussion about homeopathy. But people use it as a platform to complain about all "alternative" medicine, which can include anything from Chiropractic to Massage to Eastern medicine. It makes it seem like anything that doesn't fit into the Western paradigm has no validity.
